Water: Your Very Best Weight Loss Friend

Water is one of the key components to a healthy diet and a long-term weight loss undertaking.

It not only nourishes your body by keeping your cells hydrated, but it lls your stomach so that you are less hungry.

Here are some quick tips for consuming a weight-loss-friendly amount of water without feeling like you are a human water drain.

8 Glasses a Day

Just about everyone has heard that it is important to consume at least 8 glasses of water a day as part of a well-balanced diet.

The 8 glasses of water will help to hydrate your body and leave your skin feeling moist and supple.

What’s more: it is important to understand exactly what those 8 glasses of water are doing to your bodys the water enters into your system, it hydrates your cells.

Not only will you feel more energized, but it will help to keep your cells strong against illness, headaches and fatigue.

Imagine that the body’s cells are a plant. Without water, the plant will wilt and be less strong against daily elements.

However, with the proper amount of water and care, the plant will be strong and healthy.

Water relieves the body of harmful toxins, such as those that are caused by illness and stress.

By infusing hydration into your system, your body pumps out unwanted chemicals that will slow you down and make your body function less healthily.

8 glasses of water is the minimum if you wish to retain a properly functioning machine.

Fruit

Many people get their water from fruits, such as apples, watermelons and berries.

One piece of fruit, depending on the size, can count for as much as half of a glass of water.

The added benet of fruit is that in addition to helping to hydrate you, fruit can add healthy amounts of vitamins and minerals to your core diet.

Fruit also lls the stomach and energises you.

eating fruit

Because fruit contains very few calories, it is a good food to ll up on.

However, fruit does contain fructose, which is a type of sugar.

Fructose will spike the level of sugar in your bloodstream, which will give you energy.

Yet, if that energy is not consumed readily, the fructose will turn to fat (if only a small amount of it.)

Dehydrator

There are beverages and activities that dehydrate your body quickly so that your essential amount of water intake needs to be increased.

Beverages that deplete water from your body include sodas, coffee, tea and alcohol.

alcohol and water

In order to ensure that you stay properly hydrated, drink one glass of water for every glass of soda or other dehydrating beverage.

Also, for every half-hour of sweat-inducing exercise, you should drink at least one cup of water.

If you are exercising in a particularly humid environment, you may have to drink more water in order to avoid headaches, illness and overall dehydration.

Water truly can aid your weight-loss process if you are diligent about consuming generous portions of it.

Many people find that carrying a water bottle with them everywhere they go is the best way to remain tempted to treat your body right.
